Curved Glulam Beam Sizes

A traditional 3 hinge arch design commonly used in glulam structures.

Curved glulam beam sizes. Typical stock beam widths include. By laminating a number of smaller pieces of timber a single large strong structural member is manufactured from smaller pieces. Available in a variety of widths and depths for multiple applications. 3 1 8 3 1 2 5 1 8 and 5 1 2 inches.

Curved and arched glulams. A 12m radius can be achieved using standard 45mm thick laminations but a tighter 3m radius may require a thickness of 18mm. Use beam stress combinations e g. The tightness of the radius will determine the thickness of the laminations.

Typical stock beam widths used in residential construction include. Other sizes available upon request. We can manufacture most custom curved shapes including s curves side curves parabolic arches double compound curves and tight radius curves with a radius as tight as 2 0. Stock beams are manufactured in commonly used dimensions and cut to length when the beam is ordered from a distributor or dealer.

Stock beams are manufactured in commonly used dimensions and cut to length when the beams are ordered from a distributor or dealer. Boise glulam is a strong cost effective wood beam solution which can be used as beams or columns in a multitude of building design applications. Can manufacture a variety of different types of curved glulams including the standard constant radius curve tudor arches and peak and cambered glulams. Glulam is available in both custom and stock sizes.

3 1 8 3 1 2 5 1 8 5 1 2 and 6 3 4 inches. Aitc capacity tables provide the uniformly distributed load that a glued laminated timber beam can support based on beam size span and material properties. Widths range from 3 to 14 and depths from 6 to 48. Our glulams have an architectural appearance meaning that the exposed faces have been sanded and the all exposed corners have an eased edge.

These tables are provided as a guideline. Glulam beams with constant cross section and radius for barrel or dome roof profiles. Glulam beams are 2x4 or 2x6 douglas fir dimensional lumber layered and laminated together with durable moisture resistant structural adhesives. Inside radius of 20 0 or more allows use of 2 nominal laminations.

Glulam is adjustable glulam beams can be manufactured to the exact dimensions required. Table specifications are provided with each table indicating conditions and assumptions used to calculate the loads. Sizes glulam is available in both custom and stock sizes. Radial curved elliptical shapes and reverse curves are all possible.

Typical stock beam widths used in residential construction include. Normally however it is an advantage to choose the cross section of the glulam beam so that it can be formed using standard thickness lamellas. Stock beams manufactured in common dimensions are cut to length when the beam is ordered from a distributor or dealer. Aitc beam capacity tables.
